Ok so Im going to get the Mac Catback system in the spring. Do I go for the stainless or do i get the druablack high-temeperature coating ones? Also will the stainless sound any different then the druablack? What would you do?

i bought the dura black for my 87 and i havent had any problems. i know mac used to have problems with their coating flaking off but i think they fixed that a while back. i have stainless (slp) on my 96 and love the way it looks, i dont think sound changes all that much,but the differences are looks and durability. if money is no object id get the stainless,just my opinoin.

If you drive the car in the winter, no brainer, get the full stainless cat-back. Inf act just get the stainless cat-back it's not much more (if memory serves) and it'll last a lot longer.

depends on how long you are keeping the car. if you plan on having it more than 3-4 years and drive it in the winter I would go stainless.

If you won't have the car 3 years from it won't be your problem fi there is one.

Go stainless, it will last as long as you have the catback, and looks better to IMO.

I like the sound of an H better then an X but if I was to go with an X I might get the SLP X-Pipe.
